I was in the mood for some thin crust pizza so we searched online and came across the Star Tavern. My family and I went the next day on a Sunday and came to this packed restaurant. It was well worth the wait. There are no reservations accepted so you just have to wait for a table to open up. Luckily, there's a bar so you can have a drink or two while you wait for a table to open up. The menu is a typical pizza place/tavern menu, nothing too exciting. We ordered some starters (calamari, garlic bread, wings, and mozzerella sticks) as we were all starving after a very busy day. The starters were fine, nothing special, though my s.o. really liked his order of wings. Now the reason for our visit, the pizza. Ask for it well done and you won't be disappointed. You're going to burn the roof of your mouth on the super hot sauce and cheese but it's perfectly fine. I don't have a huge appetite and usually I can only have 2 slices of pizza at a time but I easily ate 4 of them. If you're going with 4 people order 2 pies, you can always bring home the surviving slices and reheat them, they taste good next day. Just a warning, the service isn't the best and if you get a server who knows people while you're there be prepared to wait a bit longer for your food/drinks because that conversation will take presedence over your meal.

This might be the best pizza I've ever had in Jersey.

Been coming to Star Tavern for years and they have the absolute best pizza in New Jersey. Thin crust deliciousness with mouthwatering flavor. Nothing better than a pie and a pitcher of beer. Awesome. Service is average but the pizza more than makes up for it. Definitely give it a try for old school, real NJ pizza.

What can you say about a place that was a favorite late night place when you were dating and is still pretty much the same 40 years later? Classic Jersey style pizza served just the way you want it after just a reasonable amount of wait time. Atmosphere is rated very good because it doesnt try to be very good! Thanks also for the expanded parking area.
